From cabaret festival to bicycle museum: excursion tips for Ybbs

A journey through the history of the bicycle awaits in the historic vaults of the Ybbs Bicycle Museum: a wide variety of bicycles, walking bikes, pedal bikes and penny-farthings can be admired here - and some can even be tried out. The Ybbsiade is a unique initiative: since 1989, the municipality has regularly organized a two-week cabaret and cultural festival - with well-known stars of the scene and up-and-coming newcomers. This makes the Ybbsiade the largest and certainly the most important event of its kind in the entire German-speaking region. Other great recurring annual events are the Ybbs Old Town Festival and the "Feuerzauber im Nibelungengau" solstice celebration.
